Dynamical 4-D Gauss-Bonnet action from matter-graviton interactions in a curved background
This paper demonstrates that the specific dimensional scaling proposed for 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity naturally arises as a necessary consequence of one-loop graviton self-energy corrections in a curved background, revealing it as a quantum renormalization effect rather than an ad-hoc classical limit.

Exact Spinning Morris-Thorne Wormhole: Causal Structure, Shadows, and Multipole Moments
This paper presents an exact, analytically solvable spinning generalization of the Morris-Thorne traversable wormhole supported by anisotropic fluid, demonstrating its stable causal structure despite ergoregions, characterizing its distinctively smaller optical shadows compared to Kerr black holes, and identifying unique multipole moments that encode the throat scale in a massless, spinning configuration.

Stochastic Evolution of Primordial Black Holes to near-extremality in EFTs of Gravity
By modeling Hawking radiation as a biased random walk within an effective field theory of gravity, this study demonstrates that primordial black holes can survive to the present epoch by evolving toward near-extremality with a fraction comparable to general relativity, while predicting that the resulting extreme near-horizon tidal forces may be detectable by future gravitational-wave observatories.

Holographic CFT Phase Transitions and Criticality for Einstein-Maxwell-Power-Yang-Mills AdS Black Holes
This paper investigates the thermodynamic phase transitions of Einstein-Maxwell-power-Yang-Mills AdS black holes via holographic duality, revealing that increasing the non-Abelian Yang-Mills charge suppresses confinement stability and induces distinct van der Waals-like and Hawking-Page transitions depending on the thermodynamic ensemble.

Seedless Reduction of Feynman Integrals
This paper presents a method to construct a complete set of lowering operators using IBP-generating vectors, which systematically reduce arbitrary Feynman integrals to master integrals by solving systems of equations for generic integral indices.

BMN-like Matrix Models
The paper conjectures a family of matrix quantum mechanical models, derived from the dimensional reduction of superconformal field theories, as holographic duals to M-theory in specific pp-wave backgrounds, while also analyzing supersymmetric black objects and proposing an upper bound on their horizon area for a fixed .

Chiral Symmetry Restoration using the Running Coupling Constant from the Light-Front Approach to QCD
This paper investigates chiral symmetry restoration by analyzing quark-antiquark distances through confinement potentials and hadronic cross sections, demonstrating that the light-front QCD mass scale parameter can control inter-quark separation to potentially allow free quarks even within the confinement regime.

On the intrinsically flat cosmological models in a lattice
This paper investigates intrinsically flat spacetimes as viable cosmological models for periodic inhomogeneous matter distributions, establishing their geometric foundations, proving the existence and uniqueness of solutions to Einstein's equations under periodic boundary conditions, and presenting exact solutions that transition from early-time homogeneity to late-time structures of peaks and voids.

Entropy Production in the Inflationary Epoch Using the Gouy-Stodola Theorem
This paper applies the Gouy-Stodola theorem to calculate the entropy production rate during the inflationary epoch caused by the decay of the inflaton scalar field, finding results that align with established literature values.
